Silk Dupion Fabric
100% mulberry silk. crisp, lustrous and naturally textured – silk dupion is ideal for occasion wear, jackets and soft furnishings.
What is Silk Dupion?
The unique texture of dupion silk comes from the natural variation in the yarns used during weaving. These slubs, small irregular thickenings in the thread, give the fabric its distinctive appearance and ensure that no two lengths are ever quite identical. The result is a fabric with genuine character: structured enough to hold its shape, yet with the natural beauty and breathability that only real silk can offer.
